Tip of the week: Getting to know Stage II of the QIS
Contemporary Long-Term Care Weekly, August 27, 2009
During Stage II, state surveyors use the Critical Element Pathways for each triggered care area, triggered by exceeding the threshold, to guide them systematically through a more in-depth review. This, in turn, will determine the associated F-tags for noncompliance. The Critical Element Pathway worksheets and the Unnecessary Drug worksheets indicate which F-tags may be cited for noncompliance. They include the following:
- CMS-20065 Activities
- CMS-20066 ADL/ROM
- CMS-20067 Behavioral/Emotional Problems
- CMS-20068 Bowel/Bladder/Catheter
- CMS-20069 Communication/Sensory Problem
- CMS-20070 Dental
- CMS-20071 Dialysis
- CMS-20072 General
- CMS-20073 Hospice & Palliative Care
- CMS-20074 Hospitalization or Death
- CMS-20075 Nutrition/Hydration/Tube Feeding
- CMS-20076 Pain Management
- CMS-20077 Physical Restraints
- CMS-20078 Pressure Ulcers
- CMS-20079 Psychoactive Medication
- CMS-20080 Rehabilitation and Community Discharge
- CMS-20081 Ventilator
- CMS-20082 Unnecessary Drugs
